Initial Assessment and Planning
Upon receiving the application, our team conducted an initial assessment to understand the resident’s medical history, specific care needs, and personal preferences. This assessment included discussions with the family and reviewing medical records to create a comprehensive care plan tailored to the resident’s dementia condition.
Welcoming the New Resident
The new resident was warmly welcomed to the facility. Our team provided an orientation to help them and their family become familiar with the surroundings, including their private room, communal areas, and the various amenities available. This initial introduction aimed to make the resident feel comfortable and secure in their new home.
Personalised Care Plan
Based on the initial assessment, a personalised care plan was developed to address the unique needs of the resident with dementia. This plan included regular medical check-ups, medication management, and tailored activities designed to enhance cognitive function and overall well-being. The plan was shared with the family to ensure they were informed and involved in their loved one’s care.
Daily Routine and Activities
To help the new resident settle in, our staff introduced a structured daily routine. This routine included personalised activities and social interactions designed to stimulate cognitive abilities and encourage social engagement. The activities were selected to match the resident’s interests and capabilities, ensuring they remained engaged and active.
Specialised Support and Monitoring
Our team of trained professionals provided specialised support, monitoring the resident’s health and behaviour closely. Any changes in the resident’s condition were promptly addressed, with adjustments made to the care plan as needed. This proactive approach ensured the resident’s comfort and safety at all times.
Family Involvement
We maintained regular communication with the resident’s family, providing updates on their loved one’s progress and addressing any concerns. Family visits were encouraged to promote emotional well-being and maintain strong family connections. We also provided guidance to the family on how to support their loved one’s dementia care effectively.
